Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Night Stalker wins the Night Stalker vs Warlock matchup: Night Stalker beats Warlock in 51.98% of 683 ranked matches.
Controlling the map at night becomes very difficult for Warlock's team. Night Stalker excels at finding and isolating slow supports, and Warlock is a prime target with no real escape mechanism. Once Night Stalker gets on top of him, Crippling Fear is often a death sentence. The long, area-of-effect silence prevents Warlock from casting Fatal Bonds to soften up an attack or, more importantly, from dropping Chaotic Offering to turn the fight. This constant pick-off pressure keeps Warlock poor and under-leveled, severely delaying his game-winning ultimate and making it hard for his team to group up and contest objectives safely.
